This is an abstract macro photograph of a bubble. It is a close-up section of the curved outside of the translucent bubble against a dark background. There are lowing light reflections across its surfaceand creates rainbow-like iridescent colours along the edge and inner section.

    (I took this photo a few days ago, but I’ve only just had a look at it.)

    A clear sky just before sunrise, with the horizon turning from orange to yellow and then to a very pale blue. The landscape below stands out against it like a black silhouette, as do the geese flying past.

      Not sure why, but the idea of a really dramatic portrait of just some random pigeon hanging out in a tree kept making me laugh. So, that's why we have this. πŸ˜‚βœ¨

      This is a photo of a pigeon nuzzled amongst dense green leaves and filled with bunches of small berries. The pigeon is looking slightly to the left with their sharp orange eye. They are partially shrouded by the leaves surrounding it. It has deep and moody tones throughout the photo because it made me laugh really. πŸ˜‚

Their wings are folded and have delicate beige undersides with dark spots and bright orange crescent (?) markings along the edges. The background is colourful and blureed.

                  Today we went to West End!
                  --

                  Today I awoke to a dreary overcast day, perfect of the universe to give me an overcast day on the only day in a few months that I've even had to go photographhin', but we work with what we're given. The journey is the destination and all that.

                  So here are some buildings and the scenery in the main part of West End in Winston Salem, NC. Not a terrible ton of fodder out there, but enough to fill the till for the day and get me out and about for a while.

                  After this I went and had some dipping tacos at a legit Mexican place and got mom a taco salad to take back home with me. I didn't feel much like stopping too many places.

                  The workflow has evolved. I now have neat little imagemagick scripts. How quaint! After I edit with , I run my scripts to downsample my images to the size I like at the quality I like for my server.

                  As-is, my photos tend to overexpose, but I can always wrench them back on the editor. The camera says my brightness is perfect, but it always looks too washed out to me on the editor. I would trust the .jpeg files from the camera as-is if this wasn't the case, though I did do some cropping on two of these.


                  A rickety old bridge I found in the dark and dismal park. See? Dark and dismal can be okay too. Not everything needs sunshine.

The highlighyed edges of the petals are bright blue and cyan , while there is more of a  warm goldeny-orange light in the centres. One rose is facing us directly and you can see its exposed centre and stamens. While there is another rose behind it with its centre pointing upwards.

                            At fifty six years I've finally set aside

                            Anthologies, three poems long,
                            And bought a cheap volume of Robert Frost.

                            A superficial checkbox in high school.

                            Gen X had no room for this old fashioned voice.
                            I thought that verse had started with the beatniks.

                            Gapes wider now with every treasured find,
                            In our messy conglomerate.

                            Langston Hughes and Andre 3000

                            More succinct lay bare the meaning
                            Of this experiment,
                            But having given Frost a chance,
                            This aging ass feels better for it.

My venerable Rebel T3i had gotten a bit glitchy, so I decided to spring for the high-level end-of-the-line DSLR instead of trying to leap into the mirrorless world.

                                  --

                                  One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

                                  Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

                                  Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

                                  "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

                                  BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

                                  Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

                                  I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

It is perched on a green leaf in dense, dark foliage (a big bush of Star Jasmine). The grasshopper's antennae are upright.  The leaf it's on is large, with a smooth texture and is illuminated by a sun ray.

                                      Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

                                      Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
                                      Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

                                      It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

                                      While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

                                      As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.

                                        And so, The Firekeeper was just out there, in Tanglewood, as he tends to be, taking photos of trees and plants and the like, walking about as he does...

                                        This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

                                        I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

                                        Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.


                                        Some of the gardens around the Arboretum. Most of the flowers have come and gone... gotta be faster about these things, still mighty green tho.
